Kris Van de Sande has been fascinated by photography and film since discovering a worn-out VHS copy of The Empire Strikes Back at the age of five. Not much later he started creating his own short films. Many years later, he became a freelance camera operator for local media and an editor-director for commercial videos. While working in the video realm, Kris discovered a passion for still photography. This became his next big breakthrough when he started shooting pictures in August 2010 for a selection of Belgian national newspapers and magazines.

Director Statement

The Affair On Bus 11 came from a strike of inspiration traveling on an old London bus. The claustrophobic setting was perfect for a play-like short film set in the Cold War.

Collaborating on story and visuals with friends in the industry led to the creation of this short that delves deep into the world of spies, set during one of the famous London smog days.
